The distance between the asteroids and the Earth might seemtolarge to comprehend when observed from Earth but are insignificant onthe acosmic scale.

The European Space Agency (ESA) said: “Space is huge. It is so immense that it is very difficult to imagine the distances involved, even between the objects in our local neighbourhood, the solar system.”

The three asteroids come after the close approach of Asteroid NF23 – a gigantic asteroid larger than the Great Pyramids of Giza.

Asteroid NF23 barrelled past the planet on Wednesday, August 29, coming within three million miles (4.8 million km) of Earth.
